How it works
You report what you lost
Tell us what went missing, where, and when. Include a description and photo if you have one. We collect all the details needed to alert the right local offices and social channels.
We route it to the right places
Your report goes to the Newberry Police Department, Newberry County Sheriff's Office, Newberry County Animal Shelter if it's a pet, and local Facebook groups. We handle the legwork of contacting each service with your information.
Your report keeps searching for a match
While you move on, your report stays active and continues cross-checking new found posts, shelter updates, and community announcements for months. We alert you immediately if a credible match appears, so you don't have to check back constantly.
Where your report goes
These are the local services and channels we alert when you file a report with ReportLost.

The city's main law enforcement agency handles lost and found reports within Newberry city limits. We provide them with your item details and contact information so they can match incoming reports or found items with your case.
Newberry County Sheriff's Office
The county sheriff covers areas outside city limits and maintains records of lost items reported to them. We ensure your report reaches their office so they can flag your item if it turns up in their jurisdiction.
Lost pets in Newberry County
If you've lost a cat or dog, we notify the Newberry County Animal Shelter and the Newberry Humane Society right away. We also share your pet's details with the active Facebook community for lost and found pets in the area. For the fastest help with your missing pet, file a priority lost pet report.
Local community channels
Newberry County residents share found items and ask for help locating lost belongings on Facebook groups and Nextdoor. We post your report to these active community channels so neighbors see it and can help bring your item home.

Don't wait to file your report
The sooner you report a lost item, the better your chances of recovery. Once your report is filed and routed to local services, you can focus on other things while the system keeps searching on your behalf for months.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Newberry means calling the police department, checking with the county sheriff's office, visiting animal shelters if it's a pet, and scrolling through local Facebook groups on repeat. Each agency keeps their own records, and a post in one group might never reach another. By the time you've notified everyone, days have passed.
ReportLost simplifies this. One report covers all the right channels at once, and because your report stays active for your entire search period, the system keeps working for you even when you're not searching. No more wondering if you contacted the right office, or missing a "found" post because you weren't checking that day.
